The City of Pasadena Department of Planning and Community Development is processing Hillside Development Permit HDP 7134 for a project located at 1530 Scenic Drive, Pasadena, California. The project involves the construction of a new 4,280 square-foot, two-story single-family dwelling featuring an attached 2,685 square-foot six-car garage. The property is situated within the RS-4-HD zoning district, which covers residential single-family dwellings with 0 to 4 units per acre under the Hillside Development Overlay. In addition to the primary construction, the application includes a request for a variance to allow paving across 37.5 percent of the front yard, exceeding the standard 30 percent maximum allowance. The scope also includes the removal of two protected trees through private tree removal requests. This project has been granted a Notice of Exemption from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically under Categorical Exemption Class 3 for new construction of a single-family residence. The project is managed by Planner Joseph Weaver and Architect Peter Tolkin.
